About Dillon Francis

A funny thing happens if you Google the name Dillon Francis. It turns out his haircut is almost as popular as his music.

No joke. There are Tumblr blogs, Twitter accounts, Facebook profiles and YouTube videos dedicated solely to Francis' hair. The slicked-back, vintage look, as it turns out, works quite well for the EM producer called a pioneer of moombahton and moombahcore.

Francis rose to prominence thanks to his participation on the song "Que Que." His track "Masta Blasta" also got heavy play as a 130 BPM house track, and in 2010 Francis finally dropped an EP, "Swashbuckler," on Play Me Records.

North American fans got a good look at Francis during his Wet & Reckless tour in 2012. He also went on to support English electronic-music trio Nero on their Welcome Reality tour, as well as English musician Flux Pavilion on his Standing on a Hill tour. In 2013, Francis announced his Wurld Turr across both the US and Canada, as well as confirming a debut album expected to roll out in the calendar year (though it did not).

Named one of MTV Clubland's Artists to Watch, Francis has become one of the most recognizable faces on the EDM scene. He has put his stamp on major music festivals all over the world, including the Electric Daisy Carnival, Coachella, TomorrowWorld, Electric Zoo and Camp Bisco. In 2013 he ranked as number 73 in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll, and is currently promoting his latest single "Get Low" with DJ Snake, which released on February 11, 2014.
